本科教学实验室量子光学实验的实施与目标

Implementation and goals of quantum optics experiments in undergraduate instructional labs

Victoria Borish, H. J. Lewandowski

摘要:

随着量子信息科学和技术(QIST)变得越来越普遍,不仅在研究实验室,而且在工业中,许多教育工作者正在考虑如何最好地将量子力学的学习纳入各级教育。虽然大部分的重点是在非实验室课程的量子概念,目前的工作在QIST有一个实质性的实验组成部分。许多本科实验室课程的教师希望为学生提供量子实验的机会。一种常见的方法是通过一系列量子光学实验,通常被称为“单光子实验”。这些实验用研究实验室常用的设备展示了基本的量子现象;然而,它们是资源密集型的,不是所有机构都能负担得起。因此,必须知道这些实验提供给学生什么独特的启示。作为一个起点,我们调查和采访教师谁使用单光子实验在本科课程,询问他们如何以及为什么使用的实验。我们描述了最常用的实验在量子和超越第一年的实验室课程,学生执行的行动的流行,和学习目标,从概念知识到实验室技能,学生的影响。最后,我们提出了一些策略,从这些数据展示教师如何解决的共同挑战,准备学生的工作与概念和技术上复杂的实验和平衡的实践技术技能与完成的实验。

英文摘要:

As quantum information science and technology (QIST) is becoming more prevalent and occurring not only in research labs but also in industry, many educators are considering how best to incorporate learning about quantum mechanics into various levels of education. Although much of the focus has been on quantum concepts in non-lab courses, current work in QIST has a substantial experimental component. Many instructors of undergraduate lab courses want to provide their students the opportunity to work with quantum experiments. One common way this is done is through a sequence of quantum optics experiments often referred to as the ``single-photon experiments.'' These experiments demonstrate fundamental quantum phenomena with equipment common to research labs; however, they are resource intensive and cannot be afforded by all institutions. It is therefore imperative to know what unique affordances these experiments provide to students. As a starting point, we surveyed and interviewed instructors who use the single-photon experiments in undergraduate courses, asking how and why they use the experiments. We describe the most commonly used experiments in both quantum and beyond-first-year lab courses, the prevalence of actions the students perform, and the learning goals, ranging from conceptual knowledge to lab skills to student affect. Finally, we present some strategies from these data demonstrating how instructors have addressed the common challenges of preparing students to work with conceptually and technically complex experiments and balancing the practice of technical skills with the completion of the experiments.
